DTN Ag Host Midday Livestock

New showlists appear to be mixed, higher in Kansas, about steady in Nebraska/Colorado, but lower in Texas. March corn is down 1 1/4 cents per bushel and January soybean meal is down $3.10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 204.00 points and the NASDAQ is down 34.42 points.
